The totes are distributed to parents and guardians staying with their hospitalized children. Their intent is that these supplies will ease some of the burden on the families, to let them know someone cares. The Council set a goal of collecting 300 items for Project Hope from the entire school.  The school met and exceeded this goal by collecting over 1,000 items! Each student received a heart-shaped lollipop for doing such a great job of sharing their love for others.  PCA students really know how to share the love!
